Fine-Cutting Technology for Countertops
In the construction and interior design industry, there are advanced technologies for cutting materials used in countertops such as granite, quartz, marble, and other similar materials.
If you are looking for a reliable and professional service for cutting marble, Dekton, granite, and quartz stone for countertops and floors, you are in the right place. Contact us today to discuss your needs and start bringing your interior design projects to life.
We offer high-quality services in cutting materials such as marble, Dekton, granite and quartz to create beautiful and long-lasting countertops and floors.
Versatility: This system can cut a wide variety of materials, including stone, marble, granite, and other hard materials. This makes it a versatile tool for various applications in the construction and design industry.
Cutting a large number of pieces with sophisticated shapes can be a challenging task, but having efficient technology can make a significant difference.
It's worth noting that the specific technology and approach may vary depending on the industry and the materials being cut. If you can provide more information about your industry, the materials involved, and any specific requirements or constraints, I can offer more tailored advice.
Maintenance and Calibration
Regular maintenance and calibration of your cutting equipment are crucial for consistent and accurate results. Ensure that your machines are properly calibrated, sharp blades or laser optics are maintained, and any necessary adjustments or repairs are promptly addressed.
The importance of having adequate equipment to cut dekton and porcelain
Why do products such as Dekton need special/different tools than those that are used for cutting granite and marble?
Material hardness is the key to understanding why you need different tools to fabricate Dekton. The material has a
The cutting process requires trimming the edges to release tensions. Then you have to follow cutting recommendations, which include using plenty of water, the proper speed, feed rate, etc. Once you follow the rules, it’s a piece of cake.
In this sense, Dekton’s edge is very easy to work with since the material is very homogeneous, and it is easy to get very good results. Any fabricator can do it well on the first attempt.
What are some common mistakes that fabricators are making when it comes to cutting this material? And, what are some common mistakes with doing edging or doing sinkholes or something?
The main mistake is trying to fabricate Dekton as if it was a granite or quartz composite. You will fail if you use the same tools, speed rates, and so on. Another common mistake is trying to cut Dekton in uneven support. It is a common source of problems too.
Sometimes people ask about what machine is best to cut Dekton. I believe the key is not the machine but the tools and proper maintenance. I have seen people with very modest equipment doing amazing things and the other way around.
7 Keys for Cutting Ultra-Compact and Sintered Dekton and Porcelain Materials
It may seem too simple or too intuitive to matter, but less than adequate water AND hoses positioned incorrectly is the most common error causing headaches among cutting these materials.
One of the more overlooked aspects of successful cutting is, to the degree that your table is not level in the horizontal plane, vibrations will occur. This unevenness can result in chipping and likely breaking the edge of your slab.
As cliche, as it may sound, choosing the right blade for the material you are processing, is critical.
While each manufacturer of ultra-compact and sintered porcelain materials may, or may not have tensioning strips built into the perimeters of each slab, if they are not removed before cutting, the slab is at higher risk of cracking or breaking.
Using the same feed rate and RPMs you may be accustomed to when cutting other materials can be a recipe for trouble. Unlike fabricating more common materials such as marble and granite, we’ve seen the most success cutting ultra-compact and sintered porcelain materials when following a systemized approach is used.
While plunge cutting tends to be of little concern for most sawyers when cutting ultra-compact and sintered porcelain materials it can pose big problems resulting in cracking or breaking your slab.
Projects requiring a sink cut-out can be an obstacle many fabricators dread. Since we already know plunging is not the ideal way to go about this, what are your options? When preparing a sink cut-out, it is advised to drill each of the four corners with a 1/2” core bit before to start initiating cutting.
